Can a second chargesheet under section 173(8) make additional persons accused or the further investigation remains only in respect of the already chargesheeted accused whose cognizance has been taken by the court as per the first chargesheet?
Kindly throw light on it with citation of supreme court or high court if possible.

‘If 50% share of a residential property is gifted vide registered power of attorney and registered with the resistrar and later after the date of registeration of Gift Deed the Power of Attorney is revoked, does the Gift deed stand valid or can a stay be taken, and could any legal action be taken on the Power of Attorney holder( The regsteration of Gift deed is done and then a notice for revoking dated after that is sent to the P.O.A. holder).
Regards’
NOW ON HANDING PAPERS IN THE SOCIETY WITH ALL UNDERTAKINGS THE SOCIETY TOOK TIME AND HAVE STILL NOT TRANSFERRED OR GIVEN N.O.C. TO ME.

Sir
We are 3 brothers and 1sister.my father expired on 5.11.2008. He left a Will which was written when he had 2nd stage of Cancer. It is not registered . My brothers even on my repeated saying are not giving me a copy of the will. I am his eldest son. he has left nothing for me, saying in the will that he has done enough for me thru out his life .From the very beginning of life my life i have not stayed with him. I am still living away for him and my younger 2 brothers were living seperately in the same city. (but not with him).The entire property he has left behind had been inherited from my grand father .When my father's partition was done with his brothers and father. I was already 23years of age .My father enhanced his business .in the same name (firms) that of my grandfather and on that property .During my business crisis in the year 2004. I, my wife and my 18year old daughter signed oral mutal agreement signing on paper, which said that on behalf of my 13lacs, I forego my share in my HUF property. No physical partition is there. Though my father had promised throughout his life, as I have 2doughters that he would take care of all expenses of my daughters wedding. on good faith and trust I signed the papers which at that time were my priority as I needed the money .That amount he gave me in 18 months . Even the my daughters FDR were included in it . But when the Will was read I was shocked that he had not left any share or amount or my mother’s jewellery or any binding on my brothers to take care of my daughters wedding. This hurt me too much . Now I wish to take some legal action for my HUF share .I wish to file a suit .
Kindly answer my query.
